Winners of 2013 Emmy Awards Announced!

The 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, aired on Sunday evening and now we have the list of winners (in red) and nominees from the event. Check it out below and let us know if you agree with the results.

"Breaking Bad" took home the award in the best drama series, beating such shows as "Downton Abbey," "Game of Thrones," "Homeland," House of Cards" and "Mad Men." But the biggest surprise of the evening was that "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston didn't win for best actor in a drama series. That award went to Jeff Daniels for "The Newsroom."

Claire Danes won for best actress in a drama series for her work on "Homeland." The actress won the same award last year. And this year marks the first time a show not airing on television has received nominations. That show is "House of Cards," which is exclusive to Netflix.

Meanwhile, the awards show is the middle of a controversial decision to honor "Glee" star Cory Monteith, who died of a drug overdoes, while forgetting such TV legends as Jack Klugman ("The Odd Couple," "The Twilight Zone," "Quincy ME") and Larry Hagman ("Dallas," "I Dream of Jeannie") during the memorial tribute. Klugman was nominated for ten Emmy awards during his career, winning three. Hagman was nominated for a total of three Emmys.

Klugman's son made a statement: "I don't mean to say anything disparaging about Cory, but he was a kid who had won no Emmys and it was a self-induced tragedy." Monteith's mother replied, stating that if Cory lived another thirty years, he would have accomplished a lot more.

Good for Jeff Daniels, hes the only good think about that pretentious show the news room. Cannavle did a good job in Boardwalk, but I thought it was the most stupid over the top character.

Big Bang Theory??..Saw 2 episodes of that show and can't fathom how people think its funny. Modern family might be overrated, but at least its made me laugh once or twice. Ehh whatever amuses the masses of imbeciles I guess.

I honestly can't believe Jeff Daniels won best actor. I mean he is good, but Bryan Cranston is at a whole other level in character development. Newsroom is funny most of the time but anyone with a decent approach to politics knows they are full of sh*t on half there stuff and Daniels. while I love he finally has a consistent job, hasn't done much in the two seasons of that show character-wise or not. UNless I am missing something. Still I give credit to Jim Parsons. I've seen his acceptance speeches in the past and he is very appreciative of the success he has had. You can't say that for many stars. I applaud his humble nature on the matter.

@Tanman
I think Anna Gunn won because of her character's internal struggle. I will give her that. The last couple seasons she has risen to more than a pretty housewife. I am eager to see where the show ends for all these characters. Part of me wants a really sad ending to keep with the show and, like an optimist, I hope for a bitter happy ending. No way though is there going to be tears-in-your-eyes happy ending. No sir. LOL And Paul should have taken the Emmy. But at least he won once for the show. At least it wasn't like Hugh Laurie for House M.D. who for eight seasons pretty much solely made a show successful and didn't get anything ever. Pisses me off how Laurie was unrecognized for that show.

"It’s a feat for a finale to make you regret having watched a single moment of the series, but “Remember The Monsters” made it look easy. The first and second seasons of Dexter were enjoyable, sure, but they also lined up the first dominoes in a chain of contrivances that allowed Dexter to skirt apprehension and win new allies rather than be made to deal with the consequences of his actions. There was a time when I’d have recommended those seasons, but now I couldn’t even do that in good conscience, knowing they could be the gateway drug to subsequent seasons.

As a rule, I think it’s ridiculous to judge someone for liking or disliking an artwork. But I have to be a hypocrite here: If, after watching “Remember The Monsters,” you still consider yourself a fan of Dexter, I’m judging you. Not quietly. Loudly. I’m in your face with a megaphone, yelling “WHAT IS YOUR DEAL? CAN’T YOU SEE HOW AWFUL THIS IS?” You may be thinking, “Why are you yelling into a megaphone? Isn’t that redundant?” But you love a show that, for the better part of eight seasons, has used voiceovers and ghost dads to call your attention to things you’re currently looking at with your eyes. So you’ll forgive me for thinking redundancy is your thing, won’t you?"

Yeah, they really took a dump on the fans by giving them such a sh*tty finale. They should have gone out with a big finish or at least a happy conclusion, but Ax Man Dexter was how they felt the show should end instead.

Meh. I get the impression the writers were more impressed with themselves than the fans' loyalty, although I'm at at a loss to say why.

The thing is, they went to a lot of trouble to make Dexter human, only to snatch it all away. Made no damned sense to me.

There's a lot I could write about how the show ended, really, and in old days I would stomp down some serious verbiage, but that was when I gave a f*ck. I will say though I found the finale rushed, poorly written and laughable at times, perhaps more often than not.

Dexter pulling the boat up to the hospital's front door to steal Debra out from under the hospital staff's nonexistent purview made me cringe, as did the nurse's idiotic comment to Dexter regarding relocation of patients from one wing to another, as if he was coming on shift at McDonald's instead of showing up during a hurricane.

Other issues: the rather mundane way Saxon was killed. Why didn't Dexter just do that five episodes ago? All this sh*t locating the Brain Surgeon, which was a stupid name for an even more stupid villain, when in the end a pen to his neck was all it took. And that Saxon was caught by Batista without much plot involvement didn't help either.

Deb's off-screen character death was another blooper reel highlight, as if all her dramatic work over the years, not to mention the most character development in the entire series, didn't merit a more poignant and developed denouement.

Even Dexter dumping Deb in the same place as all his victims was another example of the show's progressively poor writing, although I understand the symbolism. Deb is Dexter's final victim, but still, didn't she deserve a proper burial instead of a watery grave? Wasn't it selfish of Dexter to rob her friends of a funeral, of a grave to which they eulogize and memorialize? Dexter the Narcissist. It's always about him even when it's about someone else.

Finally, although there's so, so much more about which one could complain with respect to the finale, not to mention the entire season, why the f*ck should we believe Hannah would in any way provide Harrison proper parentage? Wouldn't she, an unrepentant and untransformed serial killer, be more a threat to his child than Dexter, who by the show's end had gone from unfeeling serial killer to ordinary human being? Why would Dexter even still love Hannah, given that much of his attraction to her was the fact she unfailingly accepted his dual nature of dark passenger and faux human? Wasn't that the reason Hannah was contrasted to Rita, Lumen and Lila?

And on and so forth. I really didn't get the ending, and I really didn't enjoy season eight. Seems to me it started off strong with Deb deteriorating, turning into Dexter, poisoned by his darkness, and then, mid-season, after trying to murder her brother, she just snaps out of it, goes back to loving and respecting him, harboring his murderess girlfriend, goes back to Metro PD, gets back on track, only to be felled by a f*cking stroke we didn't even know occurred until we see Quinn crying his little eyes out in a poor rendition of Someone Shot My Dog.

f*ck you, Showtime.

P.S. One thing I noticed was that Jeff Lindsay chose Dexter's name to reflect a certain meaning rooted in Latin

Breaking Bad dream ending:
After grabbing the poison he hid in his house,Walter kidnaps Jessie from 'Chuck who came to f*ck' and his gang

they go to the AV Room of the high school and proceed to film a confession
giving the true details of Hanks death and other truths as Walter sees it
all while butt f*cking the school principal

Walter and Jessie finally do a sh*t load of meth together
then split ways on good terms and each go on their own path of revenge
Jessie,back to the compound where he was kept captive
along with his dead girlfriends bald and tatted up family from the barrio
Walter, travels to Gray Matter headquarters still high off Blue Magic and smelling of the principals hot butthole and just beats the piss out of his ex-partner and wife while the building burns to the ground
he stands on the rubble tossing out his millions while his wife and son clammer for the money, crying for forgiveness after viewing the confessional

finally, after witnessing his baby girl giving him a thumbs-up
Walter succ*mbs to his cancer and dies

Walters son drives off in a low rider blasting his new Skinny Pete & Badger mix tape

@pornfly: that link claims jack didn't remove organs at the murder site, which is just WRONG. Mary Kelly, Jack's final victim, was photographed in situ with clear and very extensive mutilations. Was the photo faked? Sure. And Kubrick faked the moon landings too.
